The BMW M1 Homage is a concept car of the future, unfortunately this beauty will have to wait a little bit longer to be introduced into the world. BMW announced that the M1 will not be going into production, although they did not announce a date on which it will (or if it ever will for that matter) be going into production. See this post Here where we talked about the debute of the M1 BMW.

The BMW M1 Homage was to be a concept car with superior engine power, and surprisingly good economy fuel mileage for the massice torque this car was dreamed to put out. This vehicle is said to be the top of the line for BMW makers, and a concept car we look forward to seeing.

Although no estimated pricetag was given out on this vehicle my guess is your pockets are going to have to run pretty deep to be able to afford a car like this one. We all hope to see this car out on the roads one day, and many of us will dream of owning one.

As far as performance goes we will have to wait until the official unveiling on June 17th. Subaru will more then likely market this super-wagon as a luxury alternative to traditional cross-overs and wagons. The Exiga is expect to go on the market in Japan by the end of the summer, in Europe by the end of the year and in America, well nothing has been said for the United States yet, but we can expect to see this vehicle sooner or later.

Acura has done a good job of keeping the all-new TL out of the spotlight, but they couldn’t keep it hidden forever. We finally got our first few spy shots of the new TL just a few days ago from loyal followers of this four-door. Despite not having an exact release date this car is causing a lot of hype.

The TL is expected to have a 3.5L engine producing at least 280 horsepower. Transmission options haven’t been specified as of yet, but this car will still remain a front wheel drive platform. Many have speculated that when Acura produces the Type-S it will come with a 3.7L out of the MDX and could possibly include the SH-AWD system and a six-speed DSG transmission.

As far as looks go for this car, many have stated that it has a “transformer-like” look to it. From the side the TL is quite sleek looking, a sharp contrast to the front and rear of this car which appear very high tech futuristic look. The front and rear of this car share a pentagon shaped styling cues that is both sharp and attractive.

We hope to see this car unveiled by September when Acura plans to start distribution. We also might be lucky enough to see a Type-S follow it a couple of months later. As for me, I cannot wait to see a TL without a garbage bag on the front.

All wheel drive can be a great thing while taking corners at high speeds on road courses, or maybe even driving in the snow, but let’s face it – nothing is quite as fun as a high powered rear wheel drive car. By taking styling cues from the ever-popular Murcielago LP640, and integrating an all-new rear wheel drive setup, Lamborghini may have just created their best work of art yet.

Sporting a tweaked V12 engine, the Murcielago SV will pump out 680 horsepower while still weighing 220lbs less than the LP640. To keep the wheels on the ground at high speeds, the SV will utilize a fixed rear wing. It may be a little tacky to some, but the functionality of it speaks for itself. A top speed of well over 200mph is expected of this high dollar supercar, but it should still be tame enough to pick up groceries on the weekends, if you can find a place to store them for the ride home, that is.

The Lamborghini Murcielago SV will surely attract crowds from all over the world when it is debuted at the next Paris Motor Show.

Well it looks like Alex Roy, the lead driver of Team Polizei 144, has postponed his retirement. Remember Team Polizei and their infamous E39 BMW M5 dubbed 144A from the Gumball 3000 Rallies? Recently Team Polizei shipped both of their notorious M5s to London to celebrate the release of the book The Driver… and that’s not all they did.

In fact we were given a sneak peak at the new addition to their lineup. Can you guess what it is? According to GT Spirit it’s another E39 BMW just like the rest, but this one is called the 144R, continuing the tradition of the previous Team Polizei M5s, but this M5 is unlike the previous cars; it is equipped with a roll cage and a track suspension on top of all the other electronic and performance modifications.

It’ll be interesting to see just how much racing is in that “R” and apparently Team Polizei is too. Test laps promised soon, so stay tuned for more info.
